i have heard this my entire life - soccer is the most popular participation sport for kids in the US and Canada - then they move on to other sports - they like to play soccer but North Americans don't like to watch it. The MLS struggles.
I don't even think if the US won a World Cup it would make soccer that much bigger on a professional level. American football and NASCAR are what matter to Americans - baseball is becoming a niche sport - the NBA is second tier and the NHL below that.
i like watching the World Cup - same way I watch the Olympics - not cuz I like the sports they are playing.
